According to RFC (2)821 an SMTP server should accept mail with upto 100 recipients. But spam fighting efforts lead some hosts to set a lower limit. I don't know what Yahoo's is. > I've tried making the Digest versions smaller in size but that doesn't > seem to have corrected the problem. Anybody have any ideas? That won't do it. What you need to do is make sure that mail to yahoo is delivered in batches smaller than N, where N is their cut-off. I don't know how to get sendmail to do that, but with exim, I would set up a specific router for mail going to yahoo, and in that router set max_rcpt = 15 (where 15 is a wild guess at what might go through). But assuming you are using sendmail, you will need someone else to help. -j -- Jeffrey Goldberg http://www.goldmark.org/jeff/ Relativism is the triumph of authority over truth, convention over justice Freedom is not free!
